October Walk

I went for a walk in the woods on an early October day,

As I sat and watched the sparrows and the chipmunk

I sat until I was forgotten, by the wildlife

Just part of the scenery.

A vote for Biden or Trump in New York State is a wasted vote with the electoral college. 🗳

Biden is so far ahead in New York that you can protest vote for anyone else and not have any change on the tabulation of the election.

Probably well over a third of the electorate could vote for Jo Jergenson or Howie Hawkins in New York without effecting who is selected for the electoral college.

I think people are too addicted to the two party system and unwilling to consider the alternatives in fear that they would be a spoiler even though such evidence is exceptional rare of that happening.

‘Atlantic’ writer Barton Gellman says the 2020 election could trigger a constitutional crisis, and if the election is close, it could take weeks to determine the results in key battleground states as mail-in ballots are scrutinized for technical flaws and counted. If President Trump cries fraud and his supporters take to the streets, state legislatures could resolve to set aside the popular vote in their states and choose their own partisan delegations to the Electoral College. “This is not going to be a normal election. … Preserving its legitimacy is going to take extra effort,” he says.
